Tons of information for something I've always had a hard time teaching. Makes it clear cut. I folded the table and put more info on the back top of the folded part thus using it for my interactive notebooks. Fabulous resource. What a bargain!

This is a great beginning for a folktale unit. I like the idea of having children make lists of which tales they have read. Thanks!

I am looking for some task cards for folktales - My students have to differentiate between the plot features of each. This would be great. I have already purchased these activities.

I will put Folktale Task Cards on my To-Do list. thanks for the idea!

Hi Rachel-I LOVE this resource and it was just what I needed! I was hoping that you could update the "Folktales I Know" page where it states in the directions to list all the "fairytales" you know instead of all the "folktales" you know.
In the legends definition square on the "Folktales Subgenre Chart", it is missing the word "are". Please let me know if you plan on updating and I will download it again.
Thank you for another awesome product and great customer service!! I recently mentioned this product in a blog post too:)

I was wondering if you can create posters for each of the folktales subgenre? I am willing to pay for them.
July 10, 2012
Rachel Lynette (TpT Seller)
Hi Daisy,
That is a really good idea! I will put the idea on my list (I have so many ideas!) It is the type of product I would probably offer for free, so no worries about paying, but not sure when I will get to them.

I was wondering if you can label the chart FOLKLORES and include a new row for folktale? I would like to buy it from you. Thank you.
June 28, 2012
Rachel Lynette (TpT Seller)
I think that perhaps my definitions are different than the ones you are using. I used several sources which said that Folktale and Folklore are basically synonymous terms, which is why I used Folktales to title the chart. Making another row for folktales would not make sense since the term encompasses all the other genres. I am sorry if this doesn't help you, but I feel that changing it would just make it confusing for most buyers.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
Most of my teaching experience is with gifted and talented students in grades 2-4, though I have worked with children of all ages in general education classrooms as well. A few years ago I stopped teaching in order to write nonfiction children's books full time. Gradually over the last couple of years, my career has switched from writing to creating teaching materials here on Teacher Pay Teacher. I love creating teaching products (most recently task cards) and feel just as passionate about my work now as I did when I was teaching. I also love knowing that my products help thousands of teachers and reach tens of thousands of students.
